LA BioBlitz Challenge

Join the LA BioBlitz Challenge September 1-30 to photograph and map animals, insects and plants found in your neighborhood, local parks, off of hiking trails, and in other natural areas.

Los Angeles is located in a global biodiversity hot spot and has an incredible array of native animals, plants and ecosystems to explore. We need your help to better protect and understand where different species of plants and animals live across the City by uploading observations to iNaturalist. Every time you do, especially in observation cold spots in the map, you contribute to the knowledge about the City’s biodiversity that supports protecting and conserving local wildlife and their habitats.

The LA BioBlitz Challenge is an exciting collaboration between the Los Angeles Public Library’s Neighborhood Science Initiative and LA Sanitation and Environment’s Biodiversity Program.
